People can download models for free without creating an account, so there’s a limit to what is even paid out and tracked anyway. So what’s the difference then between a husband printing something for his wife vs directing her to download something herself? She doesn’t actually have to create an account, so all the tracking that makes that gravy train gravy isn’t there. Could the creator then sue them for economic harm because they didn’t also instruct them to create an account? Should they sue all users that don’t create an account because it might be causing them economic harm? What if someone wants to print 100 shufflers for themselves because they like to line them up like dominos, have I suffered economic harm from that because I wasn’t rewarded points for every print he did?
What about all the people that refuse to connect to the cloud, and want lan mode only? That cuts off the tracking and directly affects my point income. Should I threaten to use those users for causing me economic harm?
People want to argue such a strict view of things, but they don’t seem to want to fully admit the extensive faults in that reading of things.
@MakerWorld maybe you’d like to chime in? Is the intent of the license to go as far as to even say that a grandparent can’t print something for their grandchild?
